Southwest Africa

Walvis Bay Port.

The only excellent deepwater harbor along East Africa's Atlantic coast. To the north lay Swakopmund, the East African Navy military port, also the most isolated East African Navy base on the mainland.

"Today marks the official completion of the Mangalor Highway. This holds great significance for Walvis Bay Port, representing smoother transportation between Walvis Bay City and East Africa's interior. In the future, Walvis Bay City's development will advance another step."

With the Mangalor Highway opening, no one was happier than Yasold, the mayor of Walvis Bay City. It also ended the era when there had been no road from East Africa's interior to Southwest Africa.

The Mangalor Highway began in Mang'u City, in western Hohenzollern Province—the western terminus of the cross line of the East African Central Railway—passed through Letania Province, and finally entered Southwest Africa before reaching Walvis Bay City. The entire highway stretched over 1,300 kilometers, with more than 20,000 people participating in its construction.

East Africa had no immediate plans to build a railway between Mang'u City and Walvis Bay Port. The main reason was that the route was simply too empty. Other parts of East Africa were also vast and sparsely populated, but compared with Southwest Africa—Namibia in his previous life—they were merely a witch before a giant.

Although the East African railway had not made much money in recent years, grain, local specialties, minerals, even industrial goods and people along its routes had all begun to flow.

Building a railway between Mang'u City and Walvis Bay City would not have achieved that effect, because there was no population between the two cities, much less industry or agriculture.

Thus, the East African government only decided to build a highway linking Walvis Bay Port with East Africa's interior. That was the most cost-effective
